Image
By elitepcguru

Step 3
Download grubinst_gui grub4dos.zip (188KB) and Run as Administrator


Step 4
Copy grldr and menu.lst (from HBCD folder) to the usb drive


Step 5
Insert the BootCD (9.7 or newer) in the CD Drive and Copy everything from CD to USB Flash Drive
Continue past the break for the rest of the steps.



Step 6
Test Your USB Drive (read bottom of the page for troubleshoot)
Make sure you set your computer to boot from USB Flash Drive

To Enter the BIOS press the "Del" button on your keyboard. Alternatives are "F1", "F2", "Insert", and "F10". Some PC's BIOS might even require a different key to be pressed. Commonly a PC will show a message like "Press [Del] to enter Setup" to indicate that you need to press the "Del" key. Some AMI BIOS require you to enable the option "USB Keyboard Legacy support"!

For AMI BIOS:
Go to "Feature Setup". "Enable" these options: "USB Function Support",
"USB Function For DOS" and "ThumbDrive for DOS". Go to "Advanced Setup".
Set the "1st Boot Device" to "USB RMD-FDD".
Reboot the PC and it now should boot from the Usb Stick.

Go to "USB Mass Storage Device Configuration". Select "Emulation Type"
and set it to "Harddisk". Go to the "Boot Menu" and set the "1st boot device" to "USB-Stick". Exit the BIOS, saving the changes.
you can try "Emulation Type" to "Floppy" or "Forced FDD".

For PHOENIX/AWARD BIOS:
Go to "Advanced BIOS Features". Go to the "1st Boot device" and set it to "USB-ZIP".
Troubleshoot

If you get GRLDR error then use syslinux to boot grub4dos

Hello World

This is my first attempt at actual programming for the Android & PS3 Platforms .  I have a lot of experience hacking the devices , rooting , unlocking , custom roms & firmwares so I will still cover some of this stuff as well .  I am going to start by creating a couple of themes for each platform & then move on to basic apps / games .  I will also try my hand at porting some software .  Stay tuned for updates & lots of Downloads .

Running Android on large touch screen displays

By
Forget Microsoft Surface, what do you think about having a 32-inch Android-powered touchscreen display in your living room? That possibility  might not be too far off , thanks to the engineers over at SKR Technology in Japan. Primarily a company that designs and builds digital signage, they were approached by several customers who wanted a large screen device that had multi-touch functionality similar to a smartphone. Since they frequently work with Windows, they tried building a solution around Windows 7, but it just didn’t function as smoothly as they would like. Instead they turned towards Android, but were disappointed to find out that none of their suppliers supported the OS. Instead of scrapping the project, they build their own interface that allows an Android-powered device to interact with multi-touch displays. As you can see in the video embedded below the display works quite well, mirroring everything on the Android device’s screen. While the product is not yet availabl...
